+1. I'd really like this feature as well.

Are the Mortalen race victory conditions bugged? Even with multiple playthroughs with Mortalens, I've only managed to get points for the first one: conquer the most enemy planets. Having the most experience general/admiral is hard to assess- it's possible there are more experienced ones out there ...

Interesting post! I agree troops are expensive and it is inefficient to try and defend everything. I set my troop policy for garrisons to low and restrict troops to 10% of my economy, until I'm overflowing with money. Except for strategic planets, I rely on counterattacking to retake planets.

That ...

And in the end, Titan Blasters dominate over everything. One can hardly afford to make it the primary weapon of choice due to how much Kaasian it needs - unless economically dominating (in which case any weapon will work). Incidentally, late game torpedoes need Kaasian too. Titan Blaster's ...

Hey - purely anecdotal - but my rig also reboots when playing. I kind of didn't think that was supposed to be possible w/ Windows, but it surely does happen.

I ran some CPU & GPU stress tests and nothing overheated or was unstable for those runs (6hrs), but... could be some specific combo of asks ...

I am getting an occasional crash which causes my graphics card to blackscreen and the GPU fan to rev to max. It requires a reboot to correct. The card is a GeForce RTX 2070 Super. The DXDiag and SessionLog are attached. The crash is relatively rare (~10 hours of gameplay), but severe when it happens ...

The hotfix fixed the earlier crash I reported with DistantWorlds.Types.Ship.EvaluateAdequateAttackers!

However, I have a new crash. It started happening after I encountered a new empire: the Boskara Collective. It also came with a "we are the guardians event". It crashes periodically when zooming ...

The game is crashing every hour or so of play. The compressed save file is well over 10 MB, so can't easily attach a save file.

I have researched Officer Training but DU2 doesn't offer any place, including my home world, to build the Military Academy. It just don't show up. Do I have to research and build another building before? Or am I facing a broken game?


I have the same issue in my game. The Military Academy never ...

Sounds like late game economy seriously needs some cash-suckers. In my opinion, this should be the next important mechanic to fix after the design fixes.<br/>

<t> Are the people saying this starting with a harsh homeworld? When I played that way, the first 10 years were very challenging. You had to constantly make tough choices- another constructor, a few more destroyers, build a colony? Haven't played that way since RTS (recently I've been giving the ...

It seems pretty random to me. Playing as Securans in my current game and I got the Boskarans and Wekkarus near me. Both were fairly far away on the map. The prior game I think it was Mortalens and Ugnaris, or some such thing.

I noticed that also. My guess is that the auto algorithm to determine what places to patrol always comes up with the same results without taking into account that there are already patrols assigned to those locations.

What happens is that I see an ever increasing supply of escorts/frigates on patrol missions around a few select research bases and mining stations. I think they are bases built early on ...

<t> They have made good improvements to the victory condition screen in Legends. The race specific victory conditions inject more personality into the different races- and give them different things to aim for. I don't remember anything like that in MOO or GalCiv.<br/>

Anyways- I do like the ...

Some of these issues can also come from the transition from one update to another, since we made some changes since release in terms of how many ships the private sector would build, whereas if you start a new game and stay with the same ...
